• the vehicle Due to the arrangement of the rail wheels, the vehicle has an unfavorable center of gravity for rail transport.
• DE 27 12 189 discloses a tamping machine which can be driven on the road and on the track and which can be coupled to a tractor during road transport, but which forms an independent machine during the tamping work.
• the previous application of two-way technology in machines for processing the track superstructure is either associated with a complicated rerailing or relocation of the vehicles and therefore with a high level of performance, material and time, or it is associated with the use of conventional trailers, in which the Movement transmission means and the work equipment mutually obstruct.
• Another disadvantage is that only small two-way vehicles can machine tight radii with correspondingly low power.
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide a two-way vehicle, which leaves a large free space for the work equipment between the rail wheel axles, and which on the other hand enables the machining of narrow radii (20 m and less).
